Thank you for a great idea for my next startup - an application to micromanage remote workers. It will be even better than office micromanagement since the boss will have a large screen where all the remote desktops will be visible and under control simultaneously and the boss will be able to assist remote developers get back on track should they ever consider taking any initiative or heaven forbid be creative. It will also make it much easier to spot activities that do not seem to be directly work related. I feel I'm really on to something :-)


This is already a thing, Upwork/odesk automatically screenshot freelancer's desktops and make them visible to the clients:

records the total number of mouse clicks, scroll actions, and keystrokes

What amazing metrics they have! /s
